Paloma pouch sewing instructions: The Paloma pouch is a super cute sewing project that is also great for beginners. And because the pouch is so small, it’s also perfect for sewing from fabric scraps!
At a glance
- Paloma is a slightly more elaborate pouch, but one that can also be sewn by beginners
- The pouch can be used in many versatile ways
- A charming yo-yo flower, a fun statement button, or cool embroidery make Paloma an individually designed pouch
- The finished pouch is approximately 13 x 18 cm in size
Imaginative pouches are always a good idea, right? Some cosmetic bags can even be whipped up in just 15 minutes! :)
Paloma, however, is a bit more elaborate.
And you can tell by looking at it!
The wonderful Ruby Yeh showed a similar pouch on her YouTube channel - though in Japanese. So that we can also enjoy sewing such a brilliant pouch here, I have developed a corresponding pattern including instructions.
The Paloma pouch can be used in many ways as a cosmetic bag, wallet, handbag organizer, or even as a mini-clutch for a special occasion.
With the right fabric, Paloma quickly becomes a stylish companion for theater visits, receptions, or exhibition openings.
Paloma has an outer pocket that is closed with a wide flap. You can use the flap wonderfully to let your creativity run wild:
A charming yo-yo flower, a fun statement button* or cool embroidery make Paloma an individually designed pouch that you can treat yourself to – or your friends. :)

You can use a standard zipper and shorten it afterward.
I chose a continuous zipper.
For the mint-colored bag, I edged the zipper.
For the apricot-colored bag, I sewed it without a facing.
Both work perfectly.
By the way, I found these beautiful metallic-effect zippers* on Etsy.
They don't just look sensational, but you can also sew over them with your sewing machine without any problems. You should avoid trying that with metal zippers. However, the metallic-effect zippers I use are made of nylon and have a metallic finish.
The instructions are designed so that even beginners can sew the Paloma pouch without any problems.
With the exception of ironing on the interfacing, there is a photo for every step.
The finished pouch is approximately 13 x 18 cm in size – depending on the seam allowance used.
